Stephen Dupont - Afghanistan: The Perils of Freedom 1993-2009

Over the past 15 years I have been documenting the human condition of war and the ever-changing face of Afghan society: from the battlefields, to the graves, refugees, child labour and the rise of the Taliban. The life of Afghanistan’s national hero Ahmed Shah Massoud; to the current US-led War on Terror and a spiralling narcotic’s disaster.

I wanted to be the eyes and voice of the Afghan people, to capture the horrors and beauty of this sad and alien land.
